Yip, it's definitely a conspiracy. :rolleyes:

No conspiracy, just facts. midday joggers tend to be local office workers and there are lots of offices in that area who have powerful people working in them.

It's very easy for someone to keep sthumm, lose CCTV video of the jogger returning to the office gym, etc

A man shot a RPG-22 anti-tank rocket from Spring Gardens in the center of London, right into the MI6 building on the Thames.

He wasn't caught either in one of the most CCTV heavy places on earth.

Surveillance in London is massive but there are gaps everywhere, broken networks, devices that don't record etc.

Sure there are gaps, that attack was obviously planned after finding the gap, but the jogger is a different story, he was on a main road in the centre of the city in very public areas, areas that are flooded with cameras.

Wouldnt it be gas if she saw him again in the same place and pushed him in the river. No cctv, she'd be grand.

What I mean is people assume the police can follow you on CCTV from the city center to your home in London. It doesn't work like that.

The reason they don't know who this guy is, is because there are gaps in CCTV surveillance. He disappeared off the grid a few streets later and they have no idea where he went. It's that simple.

There is no need of conspiracy theories about him being protected by the powers that be.

It’s annoying that he wasn’t found but she’s alive and it looks like she wouldn’t have picked up any lasting injuries. Not an ideal resolution but it could have been so much worse.

Still it would be nice to see thoughtless ****stains, like the runner get his comeuppance .

It's a weird one, you would think something like that would eventually leak out, even as a Chinese whisper. The City of London is a relatively small place (I mean the FS district not the actual whole city) so you'd have gotten wind of it by now.

I know but unfortunately many crimes don’t get solved so one has to reach for positives.

Sorry if this has been already asked and answered, but why is the pusher's face pixellated in some videos of the incident?

Some media outlets require the person's permission to show their face on videos, as he is unknown, this isn't possible.

So they're just following their organisation's rules.

It's not as if he's going to complain though... :rolleyes:

How long after did they go looking for the footage though?

Mikenesson · 01-07-2018 2:39pm

If all they have is video footage and a suspect that not enough anyway

Even if they have him in London at the time

As he hasn't been identified yet after much media and social media coverage, I would put forward that he may have been a tourist/ business visitor, staying at a hotel. Probably a stressed out physcopatic ( Spelling?) yank. Must look at snapshots again, as this type of visitor would be wearing pricey gear.

For some reason I too assumed he was American

I think it was the pants

Maybe he was an assassin.

The footage of the bus shown swerving was shot from the rear of a vehicle and there was no published forward facing dashcam footage.

Was there no camera on the bus that swerved?
Or has other footage not been published?

Mikenesson · 01-07-2018 4:45pm

Did this rear facing footage surface long after the incident?

Is that why there's no other footage available?

Yes but I don't think that's the case. Following their own rules doesn't explain it.

The same news media outlets show for example dash cam videos of drivers or cyclists remonstrating with others from whom I very much doubt they've gotten consent.

So not having his consent doesn't seem to be a valid reason here.

(I'm thinking here of the likes of the DM here where rules are regularly "tested" anyway, and not just their own, if there are any!)

Maybe the bus company has some, I expect the driver reported it!!!

Probably some high-roller who works in the city. Most of them are sociopaths. I hope they catch him and put him away.

It was a fair shoulder. She dived.

Watched a play last night based on this story "Once Upon A Bridge" - by Druid Theatre.. twas brilliant.. I actually hadn't heard about the incident till yesterday - wow... they included footage of the incident in the play..
Must read up on this thread later..
In the mean time though, I wonder why the lady didn't contact the driver to thank him - to protect her identity perhaps?
